"What's That?"

A few months ago I was picking up my 4-year-old niece and as she climbed into my 10-year-old truck she pointed at the manual window crank and asked, "What's that?"

I paused, thought for a second...and then it dawned on me. She's probably never seen one of those before!

At first, it made me feel extremely old. But then I started to think of all the things that are totally familiar to me but won't be to my future children. It's kind of like eight-track tapes or drive-in theaters for my generation.

So now I'm wondering what my kids are going to be pointing at and asking, "What's that?"

What do you think?
